New Hampshire: Bill Would Make Some Airport Screening Sexual Assault
March 2nd, 2011Via: WMUR:
Lawmakers and residents engaged in heated debate Tuesday over a bill that would make random airport security pat-downs and body scans criminal in New Hampshire.
The bill (HB628-FN) “makes the touching or viewing with a technological device of a person’s breasts or genitals by a government security agent without probable cause a sexual assault,” according to the introductory text of the bill.
“Let’s put their name on the sex offender registry, and maybe that will tell them New Hampshire means business,” said bill co-sponsor Rep. Andrew Manuse, R-Derry.
Thank God that at least the “Live free or die” state has legislators with the kahunas to at least propose this legislation.
Texas has a similar bill in the works.
